I decided to create some mini 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 inch cards using these dies and stamps. They are perfect tiny note to give with a holiday gift! I cut each tag from watercolor paper, then inked them up with Distress Oxides. Then I stamped a tiny sentiment onto each one using Archival Jet Black ink. I inlaid silver flakes cut from glitter paper into each tag then covered each one with a white flake and coordinating drop of Nuvo drops. The backgrounds were created with silver ink and the Diagonal Stripes die.
